Thanks Cabin111 !
I figured I should have something prior, just wasn't sure what. I know getting up at 5 and being at the gym for 5:30 doesn't leave a lot of time to have anything, but something is better than nothing. I would probably start with the yogurt. Then when I get to work, I can nibble on a small breakfast.
Thanks,
Skotti

Just talking outloud...Take with a grain of salt. For about the first 5 years post op I would have a couple spoonfuls of Wendy's Chili in the morning. You have your protein (beans and beef)...Also the beans have fiber. Right out of the fridge or heat up in the container (microwave) and run. I would add cheese to my chili...But that can defeat the iron vs calcium issue of not mixing them together. Another thought would be plain Greek yogurt...Add your own real fruit. Have it in a plastic container (with a throwaway plastic spoon). The fresh fruit would not be real bad carbs...That can help you though the workout. Just my thoughts. Brian PS When I'm running around (working a lot), I've kept plain nuts, raisins, rye crackers, and Cheerios in my pockets if I feel my blood sugar level falling...
Hi Everyone!
Today I started doing couch to 5K. I tried this a while back, and ended up with a wicked case of plantar fasciitis. It took me months of rest and rehab exercises to heal.
Here's what's different this time:
-80 pounds lighter
-new runners that should support my foot.
-Actually listening to my body, so I know if there's a problem much sooner...
Do any of you have any tips or suggestions as to what else I should be considering to ensure I don't get laid up for months again? or any plus size running tips in general.
Thanks!

Hey there,
So, can someone enlighten me as to what is a good idea for something to eat/drink before cardio for an early morning workout. I will be getting up at 5 am to be at the gym for 5:30... that is my plan. 97.382% of the time I will do only the stationary bike or the treadmill. The other part I will actually do both cardio and weights. For the most part, cardio is my focus. I intend on spending 1 hour doing cardio. By the time I shower and get to work it will be 7:30.
What should I have before 5:30? Do I need a bit of food or protein drink to get me going? What about afterwards? That will be "breakfast" time, so should I eat what I normally do for breakfast?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Skotti

I use caffeine mints for caffeine. I think they're pretty awesome and give me a lot of control over my caffeine intake.

Hi guys! I've been going to the gym for a little while now and the toughest part back then was just picking a routine (who knew there were that many routines out there). I'm looking to get a little energy boost to help me power through the morning instead of me falling back asleep after I wake up. I was thinking of giving caffeine pills a try since they're so cheap (prices compared here!) and beats me taking supplements filled with things I don't even know about.
Monday-Swimming/Strength Training
Tuesday-3 Mile run
Wednesday- Spin Class/Strength Training
Thursday-4 Mile run
Friday-Spin Class/Strength Training
Saturday-6 mile Run
Sunday-Spin Class
In addition to the above afriend and I are doing the 1 mile a day challenge. It is to run 1 Mile everyday fro thanksgiving to New Year. So far so good!!
Have a happy, healthy week!
Yours in WLS Journey,
Bill Mac
